That is sad. Especially loved him in Goodfellas (of course), Something Wild and Cop Land.

I will say that I didn't think he looked very good these last few years. Various online bios do not indicate if he had been ill, but maybe he was.

R.I.P.

Always loved when he showed up in a cameo in some movie.

Was Hubie Halloween his last movie?

ANd hes been filming other movies so we will see if he finished those or what happens.

Agreed. Back in the day, Melanie was one of my favorites.

I think part of that was he had some really bad facial work.  Aka botox and/or fillers started way too late in life.

The other thing is he was a HEAVY chain smoker.  My friend worked with him on some interior designer work, and she said, while he was a lovely guy and really nice/kind, he had some of the worst smoker's skin she'd ever seen up close.  Thats not great for the life expectancy.

RIP.  Fantastic, versatile actor with some incredible credits to his name.

Sorry to hear.  Always had that crazy looking glare.  He was awesome in Something Wild.

I think my favorite Liotta role was Copland or Narc.  Goodfellas is certainly the most memorable and he’s absolutely perfect against DeNiro and Pesci and the chemistry with Bracco smoldering.

Cop Land was a very underrated flick. One of Stallone’s best, that’s for sure.
